Having now reached the venerable age of 70 and being bit by the Downsizing bug I have to contemplate getting rid of my CD collection that is over 20,000 discs....Not gonna go the Music Magpie route and get 3p for a CD that cost me £8.99.....It is here looking for a good home

Unfortunately a lot of old CDs are of comparatively little value on those sites. I have used musicMagpie before, as it’s easier than selling items individually. I’ve also taken stuff to shops which buy collections. Your collection is very interesting, I’m sure - 20,000! I’d probably be interested in a lot of it, since many (most?) of the good reissues of early to mid-20th century pop are long deleted. But I don’t think I have the space, or the means to offer you a decent price for a collection that size.

Ex Decca employee Geoff Milne recently “downsized” and put a lot of his collection up for auction. Much of it went for peanuts, sadly. It’s often annoying trying to find secondhand CDs that are in decent condition.
